The peaches are just at their best now.
I went to the ‘Bürkliplatz market’ and bought some incredibly fragrant peaches.
I wanted to make a dessert, but thought it a pity to cook them, therefore I decided to make a pie, leaving the peaches raw.
• make a shortcrust pastry
• 200 gr plain flour
• 50 gr ground whole almonds
• 100 gr unsalted butter
• 60 gr sugar

• mix all together until well amalgamated
• leave in fridge for about 30 minutes
• pre heat the oven 180˚
• butter a 25 cm springform

• now let it cool
• make the cream
• 250 ml full cream, lightly beaten
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
